| Offering Post | PhD Positions at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia |
|---|---|
| Specialized field | Neuropathology, myelination and behavioural neuroscience |
| Our Research | (1) Background University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is the leading young university in Australia and one of the Top 100 universities in the world. The Neuroscience and Neurological Disorders theme at the Discipline of Medical Science, School of Life Sciences is now inviting applications from qualified candidates to undertake a PhD in studying neuropathology, myelination and behavioural neuroscience. In this full-time, scholarship supported position, the successful applicant will be part of a myelin research network to study oligodendrocyte and white matter pathology in different models of neurological disorders in vivo and in vitro. This overarching aims of this research network is to delineate the importance of white matter change and oligodendrocyte pathology underlying a range of neurodegenerative diseases, such as sporadic Alzheimer’s disease and behavioural conditions, such as addiction. This is a collaborative project network formed between investigators at UTS and other research institutes in Sydney including the St Vincent’s Centre for Applied Medical Research. Together with the School of Life Sciences at UTS, the successful applicant will be working in an excellent research environment and capability, such as the state-of-the-art super-resolution microscopy facility, proteomics core facility, cell bioprinting facility, and high-definition electrophysiology. The successful applicant will primarily be based at the Broadway Campus of UTS, in the city centre of Sydney, the most populous city in Australia. The project will involve multiple research groups, and the collaboration will be established between research partners across Darlinghurst and Camperdown in Sydney. (2) Research Projects Info: There are three research groups inviting applications for the PhD Positions at University of Technology Sydney. The chief investigators are, A/Prof. Alessandro Castorina Dr Castorina’s laboratory investigates how immune-mediated injury impairs myelin integrity and explores regenerative strategies that enhance remyelination. Using preclinical models of multiple sclerosis and advanced imaging and omics techniques, his research aims to identify therapeutic targets that promote oligodendrocyte resilience and support long-term neural repair. Dr. Mike Kendig Dr Kendig’s group studies the impact of diet on neuroinflammation, behaviour and cognition using translationally-relevant animal models of high-fat, high-sugar diets. An emerging area of interest is how such diets alter white matter composition and consequent impacts on neuronal function and behaviour. Dr. Franki Tse Dr Tse’s group investigates the cellular mechanisms of myelin pathology in different neurodegenerative diseases, such as sporadic Alzheimer’s disease, Ataxia Telangiectasia and multiple sclerosis. Specifically, his group is specialised in dissecting the molecular pathways underlying aberrant cell cycle re-entry and senescence of oligodendrocytes upon DNA double strand breaks formation. Applicants should send their CV with a list of publications, and a statement addressing selection criteria to the recruitment coordinator (Dr. Franki Tse). Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a short interview during the JNS meeting (24 to 26 July, Toki Messe Niigata Convention Center) in person and advised with further details. |

| Specialized field | Neuroscience, Systems Neurobiology, Development, Cognitive Behavior, Evolution, Pharmacology |
| Our Research | The Section on Cellular and Cognitive Neurodevelopment (SCCN) at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), NIH (USA) is recruiting three highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellows to join a bold research effort at the intersection of development, brain circuits, and behavior. Our central mission: to understand how early neural circuit formation sculpts cognition, and how early-life disruptions may seed psychiatric and neurological disorders. While many overlook development in systems neuroscience, SCCN makes it the focus, leveraging advanced approaches to investigate how neural substrates evolve and adapt across the lifespan. One of our primary targets is the pulvinar nuclei of the thalamus. This brain region has undergone significant expansion through evolution and is increasingly associated with cognitive dysfunction in neuropsychiatric diseases. We use a cell-to-system approach in both animal models (including the marmoset monkey) and humans to explore how thalamocortical circuits support high-level behaviors. Our work has revealed, for example, that a small pulvinar subdivision is essential for the development of visually guided reach-and-grasp behavior—and that damage during early life can profoundly impair this function (see publication). Our future directions will integrate: + Novel genetic cell labelling and circuit mapping + In vivo manipulation of genetically defined circuits + Behavioral and physiological profiling at scale If you're ready to work in a cutting-edge field and thrive in a collaborative, diverse, and forward-thinking team, we invite you to join us. Why Join Us? + Cutting-edge resources and mentorship at the world’s largest biomedical research institution + A highly collaborative environment with experts across genetics, imaging, behavior, and computation + Access to state-of-the-art facilities and novel technologies + A chance to make foundational discoveries with significant impact |
